"So... is he going to sleep in your room?" Emily raised a brow, demanding an answer.
Mia turned crimson at the thought but shook her head, biting her lip.
"Ummm... He agreed to sleep in the living room," Mia murmured in reply.
Emily blinked at her best friend, unable to believe what she was hearing.
"What? Alessandro Valentino will sleep on the sofa?!" Emily gasped in disbelief. "He is the wealthiest man in the world, for God's sake, and despite that, he won't fit on our sofa," she mused, deep in thought. "That's his problem, as he agreed," Mia shrugged, but in her heart, she was worried about how Alessandro would sleep on that uncomfortable sofa, which was much shorter than his mountain-like size. Mia entered her children's room to find Alessandro still there. Gia and Maximo were showing him their toys, games, and other secret treasures.
Mia was mesmerized by their close connection. She felt a pang of sadness for her children growing up without their father, yet she was apprehensive at the thought that if their father had known about them back then, she might not have been able to protect them from his wrath.
The irony was that the twins and Alessandro were bonding closely without knowing their blood relationship.
Would Alessandro be the same if he knew they were his own flesh and blood, or would he punish them for Aria's disobedience and escape from the cruelty of her mafia husband? Mia breathed our sharply to release the fear and tension, catching the attention of her children and Alessandro, who had moments before been engrossed in their lively conversation.
"Umm, children, I was thinking of sleeping with you both tonight, since you used to have nightmares," she said with a smile, though in reality, she was making an excuse to give her room to Alessandro without showing how much she cared. "Nightmares?!" Maximo rolled his eyes. "Mom, we're not that small."
Alessandro chuckled softly, earning a glare from Mia.
"However, we don't have space in the bed. So sleep in your own room, and if you have a nightmare, call Dad. He'll chase away the bad dreams, Gia suggested with a thoughtful nod. Mia glanced at their bunk bed, letting out a helpless sigh. Calling the Italian don into her room? That's even worse than a nightmare. Mia swallowed hard at the thought.
"No, I'm fine sleeping alone. I was just worried about you," she said hurriedly. "Now, brush your teeth and Take a shower before bed, Mia instructed before leaving their room.
"Okay, Mom!" Gia and Maximo chimed in unison as Mia closed the door behind her, intentionally avoiding a glance at Alessandro.
She went to her room, took a deep breath, and closed the door. Walking to her wardrobe, she picked out

When she stepped out of the bathroom after taking a long, warm shower and changing into her nightgown, she was startled to find Alessandro lying naked, wearing only his boxers, in her bed. Her frantic eyes went to the door, which was still locked. "What are you doing here?" she asked anxiously.
"I came to claim my reward," Alessandro said calmly as he got up from the bed and walked toward Mia.
Mia's eyes involuntarily wandered over his well-sculpted body. He was a work of art-fit, with muscles. bulging in all the right places, a toned broad chest, narrow waist, eight-pack abs, and that V-line...
She swallowed hard at the sight of this hot and sexy man in hen room and realized she was almost drooling over him. His strong muscular arms, bulging biceps and triceps, made her imagine what it would feel like to be held in his powerful embrace. His long legs and powerful thighs reminded her of his extraordinary strength and speed. She fought the urge not to blush before him but failed miserably. Her face felt heated up, and her breathing increased.
"Why... why are you naked?" she stammered, her voice betraying her unease.
"Do you forget I'm used to sleeping like this, baby?" he whispered as he took steps closer to her.
"What do you want?" she asked hurriedly, wanting it to be over soon so she could regain her threatened sanity since this incredibly alluring man appeared in her room.
"I won the challenge, so I need you to give me my reward, amore mio," he asked, smirking,
"And what is that?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest, which pushed her bosom forward and drew Alessando's eyes to her full, round breasts."
Mia consciously uncrossed her arms and let them fall to her sides.
"What do you want?" her voice grew impatient.
"I want you to sleep with me," he demanded sternly, causing Mia's mouth to fall open.
"Sleep with you?" she blinked nervously at him.
"Yeah, and I mean it. Sleep with me in the bed while I hold you the whole night," he elaborated.
"That's it?!" she asked in disbelief.
He only wanted her to hold him the whole night while sleeping and nothing else?!
He shrugged nonchalantly, "Yes."
She looked at him in astonishment. This man was full of surprises and puzzles so impossible to be understood.
"Don't look at me like that," Alessandro groaned, his eyes darkening with desire and need.
As if coming out of a trance, Mia realized she was still ogling at him.
"Like what?" Mia gasped nervously...

"Like you
want me to kiss you," he whispered sensually in her ear, leaning closer as he swept her curls away from her cheek and tucked them behind her car.
Mia swallowed hard and licked her lips unconsciously, but this small action made Alessandro groan even louder with frustration.
"Baby, are you trying to seduce me?" he breathed out, his chest heaving heavily as if fighting for control.
His lustful eyes roamed over Mia's voluptuous body covered in that sheer silk nightgown, moving so slowly as if he was undressing her with his gaze alone.
Mia was still befuddled, looking at him with her innocent eyes and biting her lip. But her body reacted under his intense gaze; her breasts swelled and her nipples hardened, poking against the silk. She hadn't worn a bra as she had planned to sleep alone in the privacy of her room. But this alluring man was doing things to her body with just his eyes. What would happen when he his

"Keep looking at me like this, and I will kiss you, baby. My self-control isn't very strong when it comes to you," the mafia king murmured breathlessly and the next instant, his strong muscular arm circled Mia's waist and pulled her closer to his hard, naked body.
